I honestly don't think you need medication to treat athletes foot; just proper home treatment and not walking around barefoot in gyms or other public places that can prolong the condition should be enough.

Garlic is a great antifungal antiseptic. There are several ways you can use the garlic to treat athlete's foot.
1. Crush a couple cloves into small pieces and add a small amount of rubbing alcohol and water; soak foot for at least a half hour.
2. Crush several cloves and add to olive oil for 2-3 days. Then rub the mixture all over foot. (I found this to work the best because the olive oil keeps the skin moist)
3. You can even try cutting a clove of garlic and placing the pieces directly onto the skin.

Also do not forget to keep shoes and socks clean by using lysol or bleach. If you don't do this step the athlete's foot can take a lot longer to go away.
